How to Use Flix IPTV on FireStick

As I mentioned above, Flix IPTV is simply an IPTV player that can play content from IPTV services/providers. By default, you won’t find any content in the app to stream. You will have to integrate IPTV services using your login details before you can create a playlist. Follow the steps below.

7. This Flix page will ask you to fill in the Mac address and URL link for the IPTV service. When you subscribe to an IPTV service, it will send login details and a URL, sometimes called an M3U link, to the email address you used to register. It will look something like the example below:

http://013tv.com:8080/get.php?username=test-65927c&password=e657&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
